The field of candidates for the Cobb Commission chairman seat grew to four Friday with East Cobb resident Larry Savage confirming his intentions to run.

Savage, a retired businessman, ran unsuccessfully as a relative unknown candidate for the seat against Tim Lee last year. Since then he has become a fixture around the county at government and community meetings. He plans to officially launch his campaign in January.

Earlier this week Mike Boyce, a retired Marine colonel and also East Cobb resident, announced his candidacy for the seat. Former chairman Bill Byrne also plans to challenge Lee for the seat next year.
